lyrics

Riot Grrrls to the Front

Oooh oooh Oooh oooh

Suffragettes fought for representation
Seventies women wanted liberation
Nineteen nineties-- third wave feminism
Young women claimed their right to be awesome!

[CHORUS]
Riot grrrls to the front, listen to the sound
Amazons to the hunt, bow to the ground
Bitches to the front, dogs to the pound
I wanna find out what you’ve found

Punk rock was a political intrusion
Bang and shout and call it music
Riot Grrrl was a feminist fusion
Academic action, punk rock inclusion

CHORUS

DIY was a revolution
For creative kids who felt excluded
Riot Grrrl fought the institution
Of popular culture propagating stupid!

CHORUS

Life’s not a glossy magazine
So write about it in your zine
The words are raw and the music’s cool
Forget the rules that you learned in school!

CHORUS

Star Blue Band is here to stay and
I got somethin‘ I gotta say
Slut shame is a game that’s lame
Just call me by my real name
Infiltrate the infrastructure of the patriarchal culture
Haters cannot fade us when we elevate ecstatic rapture

Riot grrrls to the front
Riot grrrls to the front
Riot grrrls to the front, listen to the sound
Amazons to the hunt, bow to the ground
Bitches to the front, bitches to the front
Bitches to the, bitches to the, bitches to the front
Bitches to the front, dogs to the pound
I wanna find out what you’ve found

Oooh oooh Oooh oooh

CHORUS

I wanna find out what you’ve found x2
